RETROSPECTIVE MEMORY ANALYSIS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18627148 titled 'RETROSPECTIVE MEMORY ANALYSIS
The present disclosure pertains to retrospective memory analysis, where a historical archive of memory images for an execution environment is maintained and evaluated based on current known issues rather than those known at the time of memory capture.
- Historical memory images of the archive can be assessed to determine the last good environment condition of the execution environment.
- It is possible to identify whether now-known issues have been resolved since the memory capture, potentially not being identified in the current environment.
- This approach enables the retrospective identification of previously unknown issues in various execution environments.
- Potential Applications:**
This technology can be applied in various industries where retrospective memory analysis is crucial for identifying past issues and improvements in execution environments.
- Problems Solved:**
This technology addresses the challenge of identifying now-known issues that were not recognized at the time of memory capture in different execution environments.
- Benefits:**
The benefits of this technology include improved retrospective analysis, better understanding of historical issues, and potential for enhancing current execution environments based on past learnings.
- Commercial Applications:**
This technology can be valuable in industries such as software development, system maintenance, and quality assurance where understanding past issues is essential for improving current practices.
- Prior Art:**
Researchers interested in this technology may explore related patents or academic papers on retrospective memory analysis, historical archive maintenance, and issue identification in execution environments.
- Frequently Updated Research:**
Stay updated on the latest advancements in retrospective memory analysis, historical archive management, and issue resolution techniques in execution environments to enhance the application of this technology.
- Questions about Retrospective Memory Analysis:**
1. How does retrospective memory analysis differ from real-time issue identification?
- Retrospective memory analysis evaluates historical memory images based on current known issues, while real-time identification focuses on immediate problem detection.
2. What are the key benefits of using retrospective memory analysis in various industries?
- Retrospective memory analysis can provide valuable insights into past issues, help in improving current practices, and enhance overall performance in different sectors.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to retrospective memory analysis. In examples, a historical archive of memory images for an execution environment is maintained. A historical memory image of the historical archive may be evaluated according to a current set of known issues, rather than issues that were known at the time of the memory capture. Accordingly, it may be possible to determine when the execution environment was last in a good environment condition. As another example, it may be possible to determine whether a now-known issue has since been resolved (e.g., such that the issue would not be identified in the current execution environment). Thus, as compared to contemporaneous issue identification techniques, aspects of the present disclosure may be applied to any number of execution environments to enable retrospective identification of now-known issues that were, at least at the time of a memory capture, not known.
